Agriculture Commissioner Commissioner Ryan Quarles asked hunters to donate any harvested deer to the Kentucky Hunters for the Hungry, a statewide program that helps feed Kentuckians in need.
The donation is part of the Kentucky Department of Agriculture's Hunger Initiative to ensure food pantries have enough supplies for the colder months.
Anyone who harvests on federal land without a permit can face hefty fines and legal action.
The grant will also fund a project that provides boxed food items to food-insecure Kentuckians, according to a news release.
Equine and ag-specific donations are being accepted at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington.
The new grant will fund initiatives in mental health awareness, youth outreach, former appreciation grants and a mobile web application.
